[[caption-width-right:226:Wouldn't want the person you just had sex with to see your naughty bits?]]

->''"Now we see breasts only in serious films, for expressing reasons. There's been such a comeback for the strategically positioned bed sheet, you'd think we were back in the 1950s."''
-->-- '''Creator/RogerEbert''', [[http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091014/REVIEWS/910149998 reviewing]] ''Film/BlackDynamite''

A character who is nude in bed uses the bed sheet to cover their private parts. They may be in the morning after a night of passion, or have been [[UndressingTheUnconscious undressed and left resting in bed]] or even simply be [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping in the buff]]. The nude character might get out of bed and drag along the sheet pulled from the bed to avoid exposing nudity to a sexual partner (or even an empty room) and, coincidentally, to the viewer. They may even wrap the sheet in such a way as to make a [[ImprovisedClothes makeshift dress]] instead of putting on some clothes or a robe. A character that has found themselves without clothes for any reason may also make use of (or be given) some kind of bed sheet, blanket, or cloth for them to cover themselves with.

Another frequent variation is during sex scenes when a sheet is used to strategically cover the couple's nudity or any explicit sexual act while they're making love. In post-sex scenes, couples will often have the bedsheet draped over their bodies with the sheet usually falling low to the man's waist (exposing his [[ShirtlessScene bare chest]]) but having the woman's bust [[NippleAndDimed covered up]]. Apparently, L-shaped blankets, also known as the ''His 'n' Hers Bedsheet'', are a fad in Fictionland. There's also a unisex bed sheet that also falls to the woman's waist that can: have her laying on her stomach so as to only expose her ToplessnessFromTheBack, her laying on her back or stomach during a sex scene, exposing her {{Sideboob}}, or simply leaving her breasts uncovered. However, unisex bedsheets were in vogue throughout Fictionland during TheSeventies and early [[TheEighties Eighties]]. Even media that freely show topless nudity will frequently have sex scenes that feature sheets tightly wrapped around the waists of the two actors simulating coitus.

Media that feature corpses for autopsies or surgeries (such as PoliceProcedural and {{Medical Drama}}s) also frequently have bedsheets draped over them to preserve their modesty or cover wounds. Sometimes the sheets will ''only'' cover the nudity while the gore of the body's wounds may still be in full display.

Done well, audiences won't even really notice. It's not unusual for people to have a sense of modesty, even when alone or with a lover. Or they may simply be cold. However, done poorly, it can be incredibly jarring and break viewers' suspension of disbelief.

While this is a censorship trope, it is also a {{Fanservice}} one, as the idea of a character [[TheissTitillationTheory wearing solely a bedsheet is titillating in and of itself.]] To the point {{Fanservice Model}}s posing wearing only a bedsheet became a somewhat common modeling "[[FanserviceCostumes attire]]" that features in many magazines and promotional material. A character who is TheTease may even invoke this InUniverse, as wearing only a sheet is a popular way to show your potential sexual partner one is ReadyForLovemaking. A character dressed in only a sheet is also a common way to make someone look SexDressed.

See RightThroughHisPants for when characters are wearing pants or underwear in situations where you would expect them to be nude. See BankruptcyBarrel, HandOrObjectUnderwear, ModestyTowel and ModestyRags for other objects that can be used to preserve one's modesty. Compare SceneryCensor, ShouldersUpNudity or ToplessnessFromTheBack for other ways of showing nudity without showing ''nudity''.

** ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'': In one of the specials, Erika goes to Angelica's room at night to talk to her and finds her [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping in the buff]] under the bedsheets.

* Justified in ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'': [[spoiler:The morning after TheirFirstTime, Kaguya pulls the covers all the way up to her nose out of embarrassment as she and Shirogane had decided that they weren't ready to have sex yet only to get caught up in the heat of the moment when they were giving each other a kiss good night.]]

Creator/MargotKidder originated the pose, followed by Creator/TeriHatcher and Creator/EricaDurance. The Modesty Cape is reused in an utterly (albeit intentionally) ridiculous scene in ''The Dark Knight Strikes Again'' where Superman and Wonder Woman copulate whilst flying around the world (and at one point through a volcano) somehow without removing their costumes, but Supes' cape still hides the dirty deed all the same.
** ''ComicBook/SupermanEarthOne'' at the end of issue #2, we see Alexandra and Lex Luthor laying in bed post-sex in an L-shaped bedsheet. Alexandra doesn't hold on to the sheet when she gets out of bed ([[ShouldersUpNudity convenient camera angles are used to cover her nudity]]), with Lex being the one to wrap the sheet around his waist.
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'': In the very first issue of ''The New Teen Titans'' Volume 2 (1984), [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] and ComicBook/{{Starfire}} are shown waking up together in bed with both barely covered by bedsheets. This scene became controversial both as the first display of a young couple post-coitus in a comic and as the first overt display of Dick Grayson's sex life who would go on to have a reputation to ReallyGetsAround.
* In Creator/TopCowProductions ''ComicBook/TombRaider'' #10, Lara falls into a whirlpool and almost drowns, losing consciousness. When she next wakes up, she finds that herself naked on a luxurious bedroom beneath a bedsheet with all her clothes, equipment and weapons nearby, since her rescuer [[UndressingTheUnconscious undressed her while she was out]].
* ''ComicBook/UltimateWolverine'': In issue #3, the sex scene between Magda and Logan has a bedsheet covering their waists.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': In the ComicBook/{{Huntress}} backup feature, Helena wraps herself in the bedsheet when she wakes up in Gary Minelli's bed and discovers he [[UndressingTheUnconscious undressed her while she was unconscious]], although due to her SecretIdentity she's more concerned about him seeing her face than her body.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2006'': When Ares creepily wakes up Diana as she's [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping naked in her bed]], her modesty is initially preserved via her sheet, but as she then gets up the scene relies on GodivaHair and SexySilhouette to keep her covered up for the reader. She [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl doesn't see any need to cover up]] while confronting Ares, and he doesn't comment on it.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman2011'': When Zola accidentally wakes Diana (who SleepsInTheNude), Diana's bedsheet manages to keep her covered from her breasts to her upper thighs. She takes the sheet with her when she walks up to her closet to get dressed, then [[DressHitsFloor drops it]] giving the viewer a ToplessnessFromTheBack shot.
* ''ComicBook/{{Xanadu|VickyWyman}}'': Used in the "Across Diamond Seas" story arc. Alicia modestly covers herself with a bedsheet when she comes to in the presence of the kirin who "rescued" her (long story there). She later uses the sheet as a make-shift dress until the kirin offers her more suitable clothing. Oddly enough, Alicia didn't seem that concerned with modesty in the "Thief of Hearts" story arch.
* ''ComicBook/XFactor2006'':
** When Madrox and the team visit the morgue to investigate the body related to a case, she gets [[PossessingADeadBody possessed by Bloodbath]] and attacks them, with a Modesty Bedsheet being glued to her body for most of the fight.
** One issue had Layla texts Madrox that she wanted to chat about something in his room, but he gets distracted and lets her wait, figuring it's not important. Cut to Madrox’s bedroom filled with [[ReadyForLovemaking lit candles and roses, where a bored and naked Layla lies in the bed]], seductively covered only by a Modesty Bedsheet. When a fight breaks out downstairs she comes down with the sheet now wrapped around her.
* ''ComicBook/ZatannaEverydayMagic'':
** After they sleep together, Zatanna and Hal are seen under a single bedsheet that goes up to their shoulders. When Zatanna gets up after realizing she's late for her show, the sheet seems glued to her as if by magic (which ''might be'' in her case).
** When Arnie calls Zatanna while he's in bed with his boyfriend, he has a bedsheet wrapped around his waist.

* ''Fanfic/ADemonAmongDevils'': When Minato awakens after spending the last four days in a coma, he's on an infirmary cot with Rias and Sirzechs watching. He suddenly notices with distress that he's not wearing anything save for a hospital bedsheet, and has a delayed NakedFreakOut once he realizes ''someone'' [[UndressingTheUnconscious must have undressed him]]. Cue Rias letting out a [[CovertPervert perverted chuckle]].
* ''Fanfic/ADifferentLesson'': Occurs after Tai Lung and Tigress's second sex scene; amusingly, the sheet isn't even mentioned during the act itself (although this does suggest the realistic point that those in the middle of sex aren't likely to notice or remark upon the bedding, and also keeps it from being intrusive). Luckily for them, they must have pulled the sheet up JustInTime, since it happens to cover his waist and her chest right when [[ParentsWalkInAtTheWorstTime Shifu]] appears in the doorway.
* In ''[[Fanfic/TheHeartTrilogy Heart of Ashes]]'', Kathryn covers herself with a bedsheet when her and Smaug's bedchamber is assaulted by guards in Chapter 14.
* In ''Fanfic/TheWizardInTheShadows'', Harry is brooding about the oncoming army of Mordor when Ginny comes up behind him, wearing only a Modesty Bedsheet and decides the best way to distract is to [[ComeBackToBedHoney lure him back to bed]] by [[DressHitsFloor dropping said bedsheet]].
-->'''Harry''': ''[blinks]'' Wow. Consider me {{distracted|ByTheSexy}}.

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamByGaslight'':
** {{Invoked|Trope}} when two guards find Selina and Bruce under the sheets in a carriage, as they covered themself in the sheet to [[FakeOutMakeOut make it seem like they were having sex to get rid of the guards]].
** Shortly after, Selina and Bruce ''do'' sleep together, and we see a nude Selina sleeping covered by a bedsheet in her bed while a {{shirtless|Scene}} Bruce is gazing out the window. When Selina climbs out of bed, she drags the sheet along briefly for seemingly no reason other than modesty, as [[DressHitsFloor she discards it]] a moment later, out of view from the viewer, but still within Bruce's view.
* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanVsRobin'': Used by Talon and Samantha Vanaver when we see them post-sex at her penthouse. When they both climb out of bed, they don't bring their sheets with them, their nudity is concealed by [[CensorShadow shadows instead]].
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar'': The movie begins with ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} and ComicBook/JohnConstantine TalkingInBed at their Watchtower bedroom, while they're under a Modesty Bedsheet to imply they've been intimate. {{Downplayed|Trope}} as it is quickly shown that Zatanna is [[SexyShirtSwitch wearing his shirt]] and John [[RightThroughHisPants is still wearing his boxers]].

Nick then gets completely under the blankets and pulls them up to Gail's neck.
* ''Film/{{Akunin}}'': A textbook example of the L-shaped sheet variety after Shimizu and Mitsuyo have sex for the first time.
* Probably lampshaded in ''Film/AmazonWomenOnTheMoon'' when the buxom Corinne Wahl's breasts fill the screen for several minutes prior to a moderately explicit sex scene... when the sketch abruptly becomes a caught-cheating drama, they are never again seen, hidden behind the obligatory bedsheet.
* ''Film/AmericasSweethearts'': The two lead characters end up sleeping together and in the next morning not only is there the bedsheet, but both characters are [[RightThroughHisPants partly dressed]].
* ''Film/{{Anna}}'': After they have sex in the hotel, Anna holds up the sheet around her chest while talking with Leonard, then holds it there when getting up.

* ''Film/BeyondTheLights'': Noni and Kaz are cuddling post-sex in bed while watching TV in their motel room in Mexico when there's a knock at the door. Thinking it's just the maid, Noni jumps up, grabs the sheet to cover herself and goes to answer it. To her horror, she [[OpenTheDoorAndSeeAllThePeople ends up opening the door to her mother and a gaggle of paparazzi]].
* ''Film/TheBigEasy'': The morning after Remy and Anne sleep together, we see her sitting up in bed naked [[ToplessnessFromTheBack with her back to the camera]] before she gathers the sheet around her and walks to the kitchen.

* Lampshaded in ''Film/BridgetJonesTheEdgeOfReason'', when Bridget is getting out of bed trying to cover herself with the bedsheet, and her bedmate points out that it's a silly thing to do because "I happen to have a very high regard for your wobbly bits." She promptly decides to [[DressHitsFloor drop the sheet]].
* In ''Film/BruceAlmighty'', after a night of [[SexGod amazing pleasure]] with his girlfriend, Bruce wakes up to find the bed [[DestructoNookie in a shambles]], but the duvet is still pulled up just enough to cover Bruce up to his waist. This gets even more obvious when he sits up, with his legs being exposed, and only his waist and groin covered.
* ''Film/TheBurningSea:'' The first time that we see protagonist Sofia, she is sitting up in bed and wearing one of these. She spends the rest of the film fully dressed.
* In ''Film/CabinFever'', an impulsive affair is shown with a bedsheet covering the rudest bits. Despite the woman's vigorous gyrations, the bedsheet amazingly stays in the exact same position. Reportedly, the actress doing all the thrusting, Cerina Vincent, struck a deal with the director to limit her nudity in the film, and did the scene with bedsheets literally duct-taped to her posterior, to prevent them falling off.
* ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'': Danny and Lacey make love under bedsheets that fall to their waists.
* Used in ''Film/TheCandySnatchers'' when Avery has sex with his mistress. It almost looks like they're using separate bedsheets.

%%* Averted in ''Film/{{Chaplin}}''.
* ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'': Dylan is introduced post-coital in bed under a sheet, being wakened by her lover's terrible singing. Much later she's also seen in one after sleeping with [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Knox]], just as she gets a call from the other Angel's that reveals he's EvilAllAlong. She confronts him still wrapped in a bedsheet, which actually ends up saving her life since she's [[DestinationDefenestration thrown out his window]], but the sheet ends up [[StrippingSnag snagging into a piece of glass]] and it ends up serving as a BedsheetLadder, breaking her fall as it unravels from her body, though she does end up rolling down a hill and into a family's backyard while [[NakedPeopleTrappedOutside completely naked]] and has to resort to HandOrObjectUnderwear until she asks the startled residents for clothing.
* Inverted in ''Film/{{Dagon}}'', where the male character has the sheet most of the way up his chest, but the other half of the sheet is somewhere around the female character's hips or (depending on the point in the scene) knees.
* ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'': Bruce and Miranda are securely wrapped in a blanket post-sex while laying on the floor in front of a fireplace.

* In ''Film/DeliverUsFromEva'', Gabrielle Union & LL Cool J's characters Eva & Ray are so eager to get it on, they can't make it to the bed... but, despite all logic, find themselves, immediately after coitus, wrapped in sheets & blankets on the floor. They can't get IN the bed, but they can completely strip it? Eva is also wearing panties.
* ''Film/DOADeadOrAlive'':
** Bass assumes Christie is using one when he walks on her and Tina [[ThereIsOnlyOneBed sleeping in the same bed]], since [[TheGadfly Christie acts like she's nude under it]] and he [[MistakenForGay assumes they're a couple now and leaves]]. Soon after Tina kicks Christie out the bed and it's revealed she was wearing nightwear the whole time.
** PlayedStraight later when Christie and Max have a bedsheet up to their chest after sleeping together.
* ''Film/DraggedAcrossConcrete'' has an odd example, since the very first thing on-screen is Henry and Lana having sex, completely naked. When they are done, she covers herself up to shoulder level, while Henry only gets his groin covered. Then he proceeds to play with her boobs anyway, all on-screen, making the short moment with a bedsheet completely moot.
* ''Film/DriveAwayDolls'': After she's had sex with [[spoiler:Marian]], Jamie's shown with the bedsheet covering herself. On the next morning she's got it wrapped around her body too.
* In ''Film/{{Entrapment}}'', [[Creator/CatherineZetaJones Gin]] has her luggage stolen and is forced to [[SleepsInTheNude sleep naked]] in her hotel room with only the bedsheets to cover her. During the night, GentlemanThief [[Creator/SeanConnery Mac]] sneaks into her room and she sits up startled making the sheet pool at her waist, giving him an eyeful while giving the audience a ToplessnessFromTheBack shot. Later in Kuala Lumpur, she's sleeping naked ''[[MsFanservice again]]'' in the room they share, this time uncovered. Mac [[ComfortingComforter covers her with the bedsheets]], probably to avoid being DistractedByTheSexy.
* ''Film/TheException'': Mieke has a blanket around her chest post-coitus with Brandt once. It's {{downplayed}} however as in other scenes she does show extensive nudity before and after having sex with him.
* ''Film/FeastOfLove'': Chloe covers herself with the bedsheet after having sex with Oscar. This does not mean however that she isn't topless otherwise.
* ''Film/TheFly1986'': When Veronica returns to the loft after her confrontation with Stathis and wakes up Seth, as he gets out of the bed he wraps the sheet around his waist, suggesting that he went straight to bed upon emerging from the teleporter (he had been heavily drinking after all).
* ''Film/TheFootballFactory'': Tom's failed one-night stand (in which he and Rod picked up two women, escorted them home, and then fell asleep on their beds before they can do anything) ends as this. He wakes up to see a man waving a knife in his face, who is then knocked out by Rod with a cricket bat. The two men run out with pillows and bedsheets wrapped around them (possibly because they either didn't have time to put their clothes on, or couldn't find them), leaving Tom to arrive at the garden center late, wrapped in a purple sheet. Despite trying to hide behind shelves, Billy is not impressed.
* ''Film/FriendsWithBenefits'': A bedsheet is used extensively during the SexMontage where Jamie and Dylan actually become FriendsWithBenefits, keeping all of the action hidden from the viewer. When they're finished, they also [[PostCoitalCollapse collapse in bed]] with the bedsheet now in an L-shaped position.
* ''Film/FutureWorld2018'': After they have sex offscreen, Ash lies against Lei with a blanket around her chest. When they get caught by the Drug Lord, she's careful to keep the blanket in place.

* ''Film/GodsOwnCountry'': After Johhny and Gheorghe have sex in Johnny's house, they are seen with Johnny's private parts covered in this, even though the film has no problem showing them after their second sex in the mountain.
* Played straight in ''Film/GoodbyeLenin''. Alex and Lara fall on Lara's bed laughing. The next scene is the morning after and Alex gets out of bed [[RightThroughHisPants still wearing his shorts]], somewhat strange in a film that does feature full-frontal male nudity.
* Alan in ''Film/TheHangover'' makes a sort of improvised bedsheet skirt when he can't find his pants.

* ''Film/TheIncredibleJessicaJames'': During Boone and Jessica's second time having sex, both are covered by his duvet.
* ''Film/TheIncrediblyTrueAdventureOfTwoGirlsInLove'': Evie and Randy hastily cover themselves using the bedsheet after being caught in bed by Evie's mother.
* Used in the beginning of ''Film/IronMan1'', where Tony Stark's one-night stand Christine Everhart wakes up and -- possibly out of confusion and not knowing just who's going to walk in -- grabs a sheet when [=JARVIS=] wakes her up. It's partially justified in that Pepper had taken her clothes to be dry-cleaned, so she doesn't have a choice for a cover up in a room with such a huge window. After that, however, she [[SexyShirtSwitch wears one of Tony's shirts]] (and nothing else).
* ''Film/JaggedMind'': Billie and her partners are always covered by the bedcovers around their chests after having had sex.
* Shows up often in the ''Film/JamesBond'' series, since Bond ReallyGetsAround:

Anya and her lover have the standard L-shaped sheet after he [[PostCoitalCollapse collapses beside her in bed]] while Bond and his lover are on the floor in a log cabin both under a bear rug. Anya and Bond are also under a bedsheet when they make love in their submarine at the end of the film, and [[InterruptedIntimacy end up getting caught by their superiors]].
** ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'':
*** Corinne is seen with a bedsheet up to her chest after sleeping with Bond.
*** Holly Goodhead is seen under a bedsheet after sleeping with Bond. In the ending, both of them are draped in bedsheets while having sex ''[[ZeroGSpot while on board the Moonraker shuttle as it's coming back to Earth]]'', which comes in handy when MissionControl gets a video feed of them.
---->'''Frederick Gray:''' My God, what's Bond doing?\\
'''Q:''' I think he's [[DoubleEntendre attempting re-entry, sir]].
** ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'': [[FilleFatale Bibi]] attempts to seduce Bond by getting into his bed and in a ModestyTowel and then taking off the towel while she's under the covers. Bond turns her down, asks her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn and offers to buy her an ice cream cone.

*** In the opening, Sanchez finds his girlfriend Lupe [[BedroomAdulteryScene in bed with another man]], both under the bedsheets. The man is revealed to be [[RightThroughHisPants wearing briefs]] when Sanchez's men drag him off to be killed, but Lupe is clearly nude under hers, which she holds to her chest as she sits up in bed before he makes her lie on her stomach so he can [[ATasteOfTheLash whip her as punishment for her infidelity]].
*** Later, Lupe SleepsInTheNude under the sheets while on the ''Wavekrest'' when Bond sneaks into her room and forces her to cover for him (at knifepoint) which she does while holding the bedsheet to her chest, showing her ToplessnessFromTheBack as well as the scars she received from Sanchez's earlier whipping. She slips on a robe to cover up after answering the door.
** Played straight in ''Film/GoldenEye'', with the sheets being extremely low on Bond's waist, but they're practically up to Natalya Simonova's chin.
** ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'': Bond is introduced while in bed with [[SexyScandinavian Inga Bergstrom]] with both wrapped up in a bedsheet that covers their nudity.
** {{Zigzagged|Trope}} with Elektra King in ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough''. She averts it post-coitus with Bond, where he's lying on his side, cuddled up next to Elektra, while she's lying on her stomach (resulting in ToplessnessFromTheBack), with the sheet pushed down to BOTH of their waists. She turns over at one point and we get a brief glimpse of her breasts before it cuts to a headshot. It's played straight later on post-coitus between Elektra and Renard, where he's fully dressed while she's nude under the sheet complete with Elektra strutting around the room with the bedsheet wrapped around her.
** ''Film/DieAnotherDay'': Miranda's DressHitsFloor as she prepares to sleep with Bond, leading to a brief shot of ToplessnessFromTheBack before she gets into the before, under the blanket where she's quickly followed by Bond. After the SexyDiscretionShot, Bond has just finished getting dressed while she's still laying in bed nude under the sheets.

%%* A very similar variation appears in ''Film/KnockedUp'', involving Heigl's character in that film.
* ''Film/LivingInOblivion'': Partially averted with Nicole: after making love to Chad she's sitting on the bed with [[ToplessnessFromTheBack her back to the camera]] and the sheet around her waist. Then when he's gone, she flops onto her back without covering herself, because she's alone.
* ''Film/LoveAndOtherDrugs'': {{Averted|Trope}}. Jamie and Maggie have a ton of sex but don’t bother to cover up. When, in a moment of brief shyness, she pulls her sheet up to her collarbone, Jamie gets off the bed and it uncovers her boob and she doesn’t bother to cover it up again.
* Inverted in ''Film/MalibuHigh''. At the start of the movie, Kim Bently wakes up, [[NakedOnArrival sits on the side of the bed naked]], [[SmokingHotSex lights a cigarette]] and then brushes her hair in the nude.

* ''{{Film/Margarita}}'':
** Gail has the covers around her chest after she had slept with her partner Ben. However, it slips briefly to show one breast.
** Margarita and Jane have the covers up after having sex, although they had shown their breasts during, so it's more probably just due to being cold.
* Subverted by Rob Lowe and Kim Cattrall in ''Film/{{Masquerade}}''. They don't cover up after their romp in the sack.
* ''Film/Midnight1939'' Eve Peabody sports this when she first wakes up in the hotel since her only outfit, an evening gown, [[SleepsInTheNude isn't very comfortable to sleep in]].
* ''Film/MissingInAction''. Creator/ChuckNorris walks in on his FriendInTheBlackMarket in bed with [[AThreesomeIsHot a couple of Thai hookers]]. He's played by Creator/MEmmetWalsh, so [[FanDisservice he's the one covered by the sheet]] while the girls are completely naked (though carefully positioned so you don't see too much).
* In ''Film/MississippiMasala'', when it shows Meena and Demetrius in bed after they have sex, they are both covered up by the sheet. Then, when Meena's father's friends knock on their hotel door, Demetrius gets up and pulls some pants on, but you can tell he's not wearing underwear. Then they barge in and Meena gets up and covers herself with a sheet, and it is obvious that she is naked under the sheet.
* ''Film/MissPettigrewLivesForADay'': Miss Pettigrew goes up to the bedroom to wake up "young Phil" (whom she believes is a boy from based on what Delysia said) and pulls back the sheets, revealing they were actually serving as modesty bedsheets as Phil is very nude and defiantly not a young boy, much to Miss Pettigrew's horror, especially since he's [[RagingStiffie very much "up"]].
-->'''Miss Pettigrew:''' He's a [[InnocentInnuendo much bigger boy]] than I had anticipated.\\
'''Delysia:''' ''[giggles]'' Oh, you noticed! [[BiggerIsBetterInBed He is isn't he?]]
* ''Film/ModelShop'': Gloria's bedsheet is securely fastened under her armpits during an early scene, whereas George lounges {{shirtless|scene}}.
* ''Film/OneTrickPony'': After Jonah and Marion have post-divorce sex, they lie in bed with the sheet wrapped around her chest, while his chest is exposed.
* ''Film/OpenWater'': Averted, probably because it's an indie film. Early on Susan and Daniel are shown in bed together, and they're as comfortably nude around each other as you'd expect a married couple to be.
* Utilized in the PBS filmed version of the musical ''Theatre/{{Passion}}'' for the opening scene. While Clara and Georgio are shown having sex with her on top as the curtain rises, her back is to the audience, and the sheets are conveniently arranged so you never see Marin Mazzie's breasts. Averted in the actual play.
* ''Film/{{Ophelia}}'': Ophelia wakes up alone under one after spending the night with Hamlet.

* A less-common male example in ''Film/Ravenous1999'' -- albeit with no sex involved -- in which Colqhoun is completely naked and holds the blanket bunched over his naughty bits. Cuts to something like ToplessnessFromTheBack, except that it's not toplessness so much as everything-but-the-socks-lessness.
* ''Film/TheRebound'': A hungover Sandy is found [[SleepsInTheNude passed out naked]] with the bedsheets barely covering her by Aram and the kids. When Aram awakes her first assumption is that they slept together, which he's quick to correct.

* ''Film/RobinHood2010'': Eleanor of Aquitaine comes into her son Prince John's room to speak to him only to find him fooling around in bed with Princess Isabella of France, but they both remain "decent" by being under the covers. Unperturbed, Eleanor decides it's best to talk to them both, but dismissively pulls the covers over Isabella's face because "I will not have you in my presence."
* ''Film/RockStar'': After the party, Emily doesn't bother getting dressed, just wraps a sheet around her for her "walk of shame" back to the hotel room.
* Occurs in the ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' after Frank catches Janet and Rocky having sex. But warranted, as the entire cast comes to gawk at them.
%%* Utilized in [[TheMovie the film of]] ''Film/TheRunaways'' by Dakota Fanning as Cherie Currie.
* ''Film/RunningScared1986'': Danny lets himself in in his partner's Ray loft one morning, and finds Ray and Maryann in bed under a blanket, clearly after a night of passion. Both wake up startled by the intrusion, holding the blanket to their chests and after they trade some barks, Maryann wraps herself in the blanket and goes to the bathroom. {{Downplayed|Trope}} since the blanket only covers her front, and [[EatintTheEyeCandy both men stare]] at her bare backside as she leaves.
* Inverted in ''Film/ScottPilgrimVSTheWorld''. As Scott and Ramona lay in bed together, the sheet is pulled up over Scott's chest but down past Ramona's. She is wearing a bra, however.
* Double Subverted in ''Film/TheSeduction''. Jamie Douglas SleepsInTheNude and she's shown taking off her robe and going to bed. We see her naked. But she immediately gets into bed and under the covers.
* This was already enough of a DiscreditedTrope in 1962 to be parodied in ''Film/ShootThePianoPlayer''. Charlie is lying in bed, his chest uncovered, waiting for a prostitute. She crawls into his bed topless... and he thrusts the sheet into an L-shape over her breasts, saying "this is how you do it in the movies."
* ''Film/SignatureMove'': Zaynab wakes up beside Alma after they have sex with the covers around her chest. She walks away with them still around her [[NotStayingForBreakfast trying to sneak out]].
* ''Film/SkyCaptainAndTheWorldOfTomorrow'': After Sky Captain, Polly and Kaji OutRunTheFireball of the explosion in the uranium mine, they are knocked unconscious. When they wake up in a room in an unknown location, they find that they [[UndressingTheUnconscious have been undressed]] and are all in bed together under the same bedsheet.
* Subverted in ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''. Captain Kirk is shown waking up in bed with a CatGirl, who is still wearing a pink bra and panties (with a hole for her tail, one imagines). This is despite the initial camera {{pan}} across the bed showing a pink bra lying on the sheets. [[DoubleSubversion Then]] a [[AThreesomeIsHot second]] CatGirl sits up in bed beside them, clasping the sheet to her chest, explaining who the bra belongs to.
* ''Film/TheStudentNurses'': Phred is shown [[ReadyForLovemaking naked in bed]] in three [[SexyDiscretionShot sex scenes]].
* In ''Film/ThunderAlley1967'' has Tommy and Annie using a his 'n' hers sheet after they have sex.
* Played straight in ''Film/Titanic1997'' with Jack and Rose in the back of a car. Not only is it uncertain where they ''got'' the blanket, but it took place not ten minutes after the famous nude painting scene. Allegedly, this was because of Creator/JamesCameron's tiptoeing around the censors, to still allow the movie to be PG-13. Nudity while posing for a painting probably counted as "tasteful", while nudity during coitus probably did not.
* In''Film/{{Toomorrow}}'', Benny is first introduced sitting up in bed with his latest conquest, who holds the blanket around her chest.
* In the Stephen Chow vehicle ''Film/TrickyBrains'', his character at one point wears a tan body-suit to a business meeting in a restaurant on which is written the characters for "I am naked."
* ''Film/WhatsYourNumber'': Ally catches Colin picking up his newspaper with just a Modesty Bedsheet on.
* ''Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet'': After TheirFirstTime 21-year-old Romeo and 16-year-old Juliet are shown lying on the bed with the bedsheets around their waists ([[ToplessnessFromTheBack but Juliet had her bare back to the camera, effectively covering her breasts]]). Romeo then sits up and proceeds to put on his boxers, ''all the while hiding his hips under a conveniently placed bedsheet''. Juliet later employs it when the nurse walks in the room.
* Averted (possibly accidentally) in ''Film/TheWomanInRed'' where Creator/KellyLeBrock gets out of bed and pulls up the sheet to cover herself. Unfortunately -- or perhaps not -- the sheet [[StrippingSnag briefly snags on something]] and while she is able to conceal her breasts, her pubic hair is visible.
* ''Film/AYearAndChange'': Vera is sporting one towards the end of the movie when she is in bed with Owen after sex.
* In ''Film/{{Zachariah}}'', Belle Starr and Zachariah use a his 'n' hers bedsheet after they have sex.

[[folder:Literature]]

* PlayedWith in the [[WerewolfWorks YA werewolf series]] by Steve Feasey, that we call ''Literature/Wereling2009''. The first book begins with Trey, who lives in a group home, waking up to find his bedroom trashed [[AlternateIdentityAmnesia for some reason]].

-->"She was unmistakably naked, with a bedsheet half-wrapped around herself. I will admit that the sight of gorgeous, full-breasted Fela half-naked in front of me was one of the most startlingly erotic moments in my young life.\\

* ''Literature/MemorySorrowAndThorn'': Near the end of "To Green Angel Tower", when Miriamele and Simon ''finally'' have sex, and [[spoiler:Josua]] [[InterruptedIntimacy barges in and wakes them up in the middle of the night]], Miriamele keeps the bedsheet pulled up to her neck so she can hug him without compromising her modesty. Simon is left rather exposed by this, though.
* ''Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy'': In "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", Lisbeth wears these twice; first when Mikael shows up at her apartment while she SleepsInTheNude, and again when she decides to sleep with him.

* In the ''Literature/{{Relativity}}'' story "Secret Recipe", a hooker named Babs agrees to help the police by luring a bad guy into a sting. When the cops bust into the room where she's "entertaining" him, she quickly covers herself with the bedsheet. Which is actually kind of strange, because the man was a foot-fetishist and she had all her clothes on other than her shoes and stockings.
* ''Literature/UnderThePendulumSun'': The morning after having sex, Cathy wakes up, sits up in bed, realizes she's naked, and [[NakedFreakOut gets embarrassed]]. Her lover points out this is silly--and she agrees--but she covers up anyways. To be fair, they ''are'' Victorians.
-->'''Laon:''' I have seen you naked already. I’ve even dressed you.\\
'''Cathy:''' That’s not the point.\\
'''Laon:''' And I do intend to see you naked again.\\
'''Cathy:''' I intend to let you, but it’s still hardly proper.
* The narrator of ''Literature/WeCantRewind'' is both horrified by the circumstances in which he observes this trope being put into practice and a bit mollified by it: [[spoiler: "Jackie and Jaymee did still have the covers pulled up over themselves; for that I am grateful."]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]

** Seen at the end of the fourth season as Sheridan and Delenn are spending their first night as a married couple.
* {{Averted|Trope}} in ''Series/BandOfBrothers'' where an American soldier (played by a young Creator/TomHardy) is having sex with a German girl -- although there's a bedsheet over the 'action' both characters are naked and you can see the girl's breasts. Then his commanding officer [[InterruptedIntimacy bursts into the room]] and it's played straight when the [[NakedFreakOut embarrassed girl covers herself up]].
* ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': "[[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S03E08Hero Hero]]" has D'anna waking up under one after her tryst [[AThreesomeIsHot with both Baltar and Caprica-Six]].

* ''Series/BeingHumanUS'': After having sex, women invariably cover their chests using the covers.
* ''Series/BeverlyHills90210'' (2008 series): Naomi and Max do this after having sex. It is made doubly amusing by the fact that Max gets up a minute later and it is shown [[RightThroughHisPants he was wearing underwear anyway]].
* ''Series/BodyguardUK2018'' gets round this by showing, at the start of episode 3, Julia Montague and David Budd snugging under the bedsheet, so we just get a tight shot on their faces as they have a post-coital conversation and a shot at the end of the sheet draped over their entire bodies so nothing is visible.

*** When Connor and Cordelia their PreClimaxClimax in "[[Recap/AngelS04E07ApocalypseNowish Apocalypse Nowish]]" they are both under a bedsheet to hide all the action, which is lucky considering a grim-faced [[{{Cuckold}} and extremely jealous Angel is watching them from afar]].

*** At the end of "[[Recap/AngelS05E08Destiny Destiny]]", Eve enters a bedroom and starts to undressing while gloating about manipulating Angel and Spike.

When Angel wakes up due to his curse activating, he still has time to put all his clothes on before he leaves the room.

*** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E13TheZeppo The Zeppo]]", Faith [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence gets aroused after the adrenaline rush from a fight]], and pounces on Xander for some GladToBeAliveSex, [[TheirFirstTime taking his virginity]] with the promise to "[[SexGoddess Steer [him] around the curves]]". Cue [[IdealizedSex romantic music as they start to making love]], with Faith on top of Xander but with a bedsheet over both so the scene wouldn't be explicit. Cut to a post-coital scene of them snuggling under the bedsheets in a seemingly romantic moment... then a [[MusicalisInterruptus the music abruptly stops]] and we SmashCut to Faith [[NotStayingForBreakfast booting Xander out the door]] with the bedsheet still wrapped around her, while he's already fully clothed, but ''very'' confused.
*** Buffy and Parker make use of one when they have sex in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E3TheHarshLightOfDay The Harsh Light Of The Day]]". When Buffy wakes up the morning after, she still has to sheet on, and clutches it to her body while searching the floor for her clothes.
*** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E10Hush Hush]]", we see Giles and Olivia under the covers in the dark bedroom, and when she slides out from under the covers and puts on a robe that was conveniently lying on the bed.
*** "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E13TheIInTeam The 'I' In The Team]]" has Buffy and Riley with a sheet on their waist during their sex scene (his body on top of hers blocks anything else). They both have the sheet up to their shoulders in the morning after, and the camera [[ShouldersUpNudity stays above Riley's waist]] when he gets out of bed.
*** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E18WhereTheWildThingsAre Where the Wild Things Are]]", Buffy and Riley [[AliensMadeThemDoIt are influenced by ghosts into staying in bed having sex for most of the episode]]. Most of the action is hidden due to both being under the bedsheets, although the sheet is low on Riley's waist to [[ShirtlessScene show off his abs]] while high on Buffy's legs to expose her legs.
*** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E21Primeval Primeval]]" Anya enters Xander's basement and finds him still lying in bed, [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping naked under the covers]]. She actually lifts and peeks under the covers to check if that he's really naked.

'''Spike:''' As usual I'm here to help you and... [[DistractedByTheSexy are you naked under there?]]

*** Spike has one in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E11Gone Gone]]" when Xander [[InterruptedIntimacy walks in]] on him and an [[{{Invisibility}} Invisible]] Buffy having sex. Xander of course, has no idea what is actually happening and Spike tries to pass it as him doing naked pushups in his bed, which he then demonstrates—punctuated by Buffy gasping. When Xander does leave, Spike throws the sheet on the bed, which envelops the invisible Buffy on the bed.
*** A specific example is in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E10Wrecked Wrecked]]", when Spike and Buffy wake up in a now-destroyed house from a night of rapturous DestructoNookie. Buffy is already using their largest available article of clothing -- his BadassLongcoat -- as a Modesty Bedsheet, so a [[SceneryCensor conveniently-placed pole]] was used to hide his groin from the camera. Later in the episode Buffy also finds Spike [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping naked]] under an actual sheet. When he [[ShamelessFanserviceGuy simply stands up]] she turns away and tells him to PleasePutSomeClothesOn and he proceeds to mock her for being a prude after what they did together.
*** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E13DeadThings Dead Things]]", they end up lying post-coital on the floor in a [[DestructoNookie wrecked building]] with an ''oriental rug'' covering Spike's naughty bits and covering Buffy almost up to the neck.
*** {{Justified|Trope}} when Riley [[InterruptedIntimacy bursts in on Spike and Buffy while they're in bed]] in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E15AsYouWere As You Were]]". Buffy is mortified at Riley seeing her in bed with Spike so she cowers behind the sheets, while a smug Spike openly taunts Riley by flaunting their relationship and his manly abs.
*** Done with Willow and Tara in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E19SeeingRed Seeing Red]]", where they're both tightly wrapped in bedsheets. And then Tara exits the room wearing her bedsheet.
* ''Series/BurnNotice'':
** In "[[Recap/BurnNoticeS1E7BrokenRules Broken Rules]]", Michael and Fiona are shown under one after sleeping together. Michael's sheets covers most of him and he's revealed to be [[RightThroughHisPants wearing shorts underneath]] while Fi is clearly nude with the sheet barely covering her and exposing a great deal of skin. Their afterglow is also interrupted by some suspicious noise and they ''both'' [[PillowPistol quickly grab the pistols they left under their pillows]] with Fiona first making sure her breasts are covered by the sheet first.
** In "Friendly Fire", after a SexyDiscretionShot between Michael and Fiona, he's seen in a bathrobe at the balcony talking business with someone until a sheet-clad Fiona arrives [[ComeBackToBedHoney to drag him back to bed]].
** In "Company Man", Fiona is [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence aggressively pouncing]] on Michael after they've been apart for a while, [[DestructoNookie with things breaking all around them]]. When we finally cut to them post-sex, they're just snuggling on the couch under an L-shaped sheet.
* ''Series/Charmed1998'': In "The Bare Witch Project", Lady Godiva gets summoned [[NakedOnArrival when she was about to do her naked ride]] to the present, where she immediately gets surrounded by a bunch of horny boys.

* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'': "Chuck Versus the Three Words" ends with TheReveal that Sarah's [[FemmeFatale super spy]] friend Carina and Chuck [[GiveGeeksAChance geeky friend Morgan hit it off]], with a shot showing them both in bed post-sex under a goofy ''Franchise/StarWars'' bedsheet. This gets a CallBack in "[[Recap/ChuckS4E15ChuckVsTheCatSquad Chuck Versus the Cat Squad]]" when Morgan wakes up in his room to find Carina [[BedmateReveal sleeping right beside him]] while [[SleepsInTheNude clearly nude]] and wrapped up in the same goofy bedsheets. This time he has a FreakOut (since he's dating someone else) and demands she leave, which she [[TheTease coyly complies]] by standing up and flinging the bedsheet away, flaunting her body and causing him to [[IgnoreTheFanservice bolt out of the room in a panic]].
* In ''Series/ColdFeet'', Fay Ripley's character is making love to her husband in the woman-on-top position. Fay said afterward that the only reason it was shot from the back was not so much for greater erotic effect as to conceal the fact her not-inconsiderably-large breasts had to be ''seriously'' taped down, or they'd have been flying all over the place and quite possibly delivering a knockout blow to the poor chap. Or to Fay herself. This also precluded any chance of her going topless in front of the camera.
* ''Series/ConversationsWithFriends'': Frances and later Bobbi both sometimes have the sheets around their chests while in bed nude. Here it's definitely simply for warmth, since they are both shown topless as well.
* In an episode of ''Series/CovertAffairs'', Auggie is on vacation and romances a woman. The next morning, she holds a bedsheet uncomfortably over herself while having a conversation with him. This is especially amusing because Auggie is blind, so she has no in-character justification at all.
* ''Series/{{CSI}}'' .
** This is often averted with the original, opting instead to go with selective [[{{Pixellation}} blurring]] / [[ShouldersUpNudity framing]] / [[SceneryCensor blocking]] to avoid showing any "naughty bits". Even still, at least on one occasion, a nipple of a female victim manages to get in-frame.
** PlayedStraight in the [[SpinOff spin-offs]] where bodies being examined in the morgue are always covered with a modesty sheet, even during the forensic examination, which doesn't make sense. Sometimes they go to ridiculous extents to show injuries or bruises while keeping the sheet to avoid revealing too much of the body.
* ''{{Series/Cursed|2020}}'':
** [[spoiler:Lenore]] is shown with a blanket covering her chest after she had slept with [[spoiler:Merlin]].
** [[spoiler:Arthur and Nimue]] both have the bed covers up over their chests on waking up the next morning.

* ''Series/DesperateHousewives'': In "Being Alive", Kat and Orson's conversation is interrupted when they hear Bree's [[TheImmodestOrgasm orgasmic screech]] that could be [[RightThroughTheWall heard throughout most of the neighborhood]]. Cut to Bree [[PostCoitalCollapse collapsing in bed]] next to Karl, both sweaty and each wrapped up in their own modesty bedsheet.

* ''Series/DueSouth'': In "[[Recap/DueSouthS1E08ChicagoHolidayPart2 Chicago Holiday Part 2]]", Fraser passes out from exhaustion at the hotel after chasing Christina around all night, he wakes up in her hotel room wearing only a blanket. Christina quickly [[WhatDidIDoLastNight explains away any concerns:]] She had the [[HypercompetentSidekick hotel's excellent staff]] move him into the room and [[UndressingTheUnconscious had his uniform removed]] and dry cleaned for him.
* The ''Series/EnemyAtTheDoor'' episode "The Jerrybag" has several scenes with the young lovers in bed together, always with at least their lower halves covered by the bedsheet. His naked torso gets plenty of exposure, hers none at all.
* Averted in ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' with Chiana by having the alien nymphomaniac always have sex in a reverse cowgirl position, so she's just showing her ToplessnessFromTheBack. In one amusing scene [[MomentKiller Crichton barges in on her having sex with D'Argo and starts ranting]]. Chiana storms off naked while D'Argo then wraps the blanket around himself with a long-suffering expression as he listens to Crichton's problems.
* ''Series/FatherBrown'': In "The Two Deaths of Hercule Flambeau", when Lisandra and Flambeau are in bed together in Italy, Lisandra covers her with a bedsheet to preserve her modesty. Flambeau, on the other hand, seems to have gone RightThroughHisPants.
* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'':
** [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Inara]] is usually shown under the sheets when she sleeps with her clients. In "[[Recap/FireflyE01Serenity Serenity]]" we see Inara and her client having sex, with him on top and the bedsheets up to his waist to hide the actual act. In "[[Recap/FireflyE08OutOfGas Out of Gas]]", a magistrate hires Inara to [[ProfessionalSexEd sleep with his son]] to [[SexAsRiteOfPassage turn him into a man]], with the scene cutting to the son and Inara cuddling in bed under the sheets.
** Wash and Zoe also use one when they're in bed together (during "[[Recap/FireflyE04Shindig Shindig]]" and "[[Recap/FireflyE14ObjectsInSpace Objects in Space]]") -- in "[[Recap/FireflyE04Shindig Shindig]]" the sheet just ''happens'' to be laying over Zoe's body in such a way that it covers anything potentially inappropriate but leaves the length of her legs exposed.
** In "[[Recap/FireflyE06OurMrsReynolds Our Mrs. Reynolds]]", Mal finds his [[AccidentalMarriage "wife"]] Saffron waiting for him [[ReadyForLovemaking naked under his blanket]] for their wedding night. It takes a lot of him to IgnoreTheFanservice
-->'''Saffron:''' But aren't we to become one flesh?\\
'''Mal:''' No, we're still two fleshes, and I think your flesh should sleepover in the... ''[Saffron [[DressHitsFloor drops]] the blanket that was covering her nakedness]'' Whoa! Hey! Flesh!
** In the episode "[[Recap/FireflyE13HeartOfGold Heart of Gold]]", Mal and the ex-Companion Nandi have sex in the female dominant position with a sheet covering most of the action, but exposing Nandi's [[ToplessnessFromTheBack naked back]]. In the next shot, they're both shown sleeping each wrapped in their own bedsheet.
** The opening to "[[Recap/FireflyE14ObjectsInSpace Objects in Space]]" shows River [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping naked]], but she has a bedsheet covering her.
* The "His n Hers Bedsheet" was used in ''Series/{{FlashForward|2009}}'' after Demetri and Zoey have sex. She covers her breasts, but Demetri is [[ShirtlessScene kind enough]] to let the sheet fall to his waist.
* ''Series/{{Forbrydelsen}}'': {{Subverted|Trope}} with Lund in Season 3; after sleeping with Borch, she wakes up with the sheet pulled up to her chest, then leaves it behind in her hurry to get up.

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'': Played for laughs the first time Chandler and Monica hook up. The next morning they ''both'' have the bedcovers pulled up over their chests as they awkwardly discuss what happened the night before.
-->'''Monica:''' (''starts to get out of bed'') Could you not look?\\
'''Chandler:''' I don't ''want'' to look!
* ''Series/FromDuskTillDawn'': Richie and Santanico are shown under one while making love in "Opening Night".
* ''Series/GrandHotel'':
** PlayedWith in the pilot. When [[TheCasanova playboy Casanova]] Javi is introduced, he's in bed with a random guest he spent the night with, both shown under a bedsheet. When he gets out of bed, it's revealed he's [[RightThroughHisPants wearing shorts all along]], but what the sheet was ''really'' hiding from the audience was that [[AnArmAndALeg he's missing one of his legs]].
** Alicia and Danny's SexMontage after they become a couple has bedsheets hiding anything explicit.
* On an episode of ''Series/{{Heroes}}'','' Claire is "killed" and [[WakingUpAtTheMorgue wakes up naked on the autopsy table]]. They have no problem showing her opened ribcage with all her internal organs on display, but as soon as she puts herself back together, cue the camera cutaway until she puts on the Modesty Bedsheet.
* {{Justified|Trope}} in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' both times Robin sleeps with TheCasanova Barney when they aren't actually dating. She feels bad because she slept with her ex-boyfriend's friend and she usually mocks the type of chicks Barney sleeps with. The second time she was cheating on Kevin and Barney was with Nora.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS1E3LordSnow Lord Snow]]": Thanks to the strategic placement of body and bearskin blanket, Daenerys is [[ToplessnessFromTheBack revealing]] much [[SideBoob more]] than Drogo while they're naked in bed together.
** PlayedWith in "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS5E1TheWarsToCome The Wars To Come]]". Loras Tyrell quickly throws a blanket on top of his lower half when his sister Margaery [[InterruptedIntimacy interrupts his little tryst]]. His lover Olyvar, on the other hand, has [[ShamelessFanserviceGuy zero shame about his nudity]] and even walks out of the chamber bare ass-naked, which Margaery [[EatingTheEyeCandy appreciates]].
** Done awkwardly in two Season 5 episodes, when Daenerys keeps herself covered by the sheets. Due to the fact that her paramour Daario is walking about shamelessly nude and the fact that one of their establishing moments was her complete lack of modesty around him, Dany's modesty stands out.
** Also in Season 5, there are several scenes in a mortuary where dead bodies are being washed to prepare them for burial. In every instance, a modesty sheet is used, even when Arya and the other worker are actively trying to wash the body. Since there is a sheet in the way, they can only wash the arms and head of the body, which the actors compensate for by washing extremely slowly.
** In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS5E3HighSparrow High Sparrow]]", Tommen and Margaery are covered by the blankets after their wedding night, though the audience ([[EatingTheEyeCandy and Tommen]]) do get a look at her ToplessnessFromTheBack as she climbs out of bed before she puts on a robe.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}'': After Quinn and Santana have sex, they lie in the bed covering themselves with the sheet before deciding to do it again.
* ''Series/GoodOmens2019'': After she has sex with Newt, Anathema carefully covers herself with the sheet this way.
%%* The pilot of ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' started with this. Justified in that Meredith didn't really know who the guy was at that point.
* ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'':
** After Hercules and Nemesis [[RollInTheHay sleep together in a barn]] in "The Enforcer", we see them both cuddling under a bedsheet in the morning after, still at the barn.
** In "Long Live the King", King Orestes and princess Niobe have an L-shaped bedsheet covering them after they sleep together, with one of her bare legs peeking out seemingly just to [[LegFocus show them off]]. The sheets do come in handy when guards [[InterruptedIntimacy break into the room]] to arrest Orestes.
** In "Stranger and Stranger", Ares II (an AlternateSelf of Ares that is a [[LoveGoddess god of love]] instead of war) uses [[LoveIsInTheAir his aphrodisiac powers]] on Ares and Nebula to [[AliensMadeThemDoIt get them to have sex]] to buy time for Hercules. They go at for hours but we only see movement from under the sheets as they both shout and giggle. After the effect wears out, a furious Nebula rolls out of bed with the bedsheet wrapped around her to yell at Ares II.
** In "We'll Always Have Cyprus", after Hercules and Morrigan sleep together, we see her walking to the window clutching a bedsheet to her chest. A {{shirtless|scene}} Hercules joins shortly thereafter.

* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E6LikeAngelsPutInHellByGod Like Angels Put in Hell by God]]", a naked Antoinette hastily covers herself with the bedsheets when Louis [[OpenSaysMe bursts inside her bedroom]] [[InterruptedIntimacy when she's in bed with Lestat]].
* ''Series/InTheDark'': After Murphy's threeway with Felix and another woman, all three have the bedsheet covering their chests.
* ''Series/IronFist2017'': After Danny Rand and Colleen Wing first have sex in "[[Recap/IronFist2017S1E7FellingTreeWithRoots Felling Tree With Roots]]", Colleen is shown waking up wrapped in her bedsheet. It's done again in "[[Recap/IronFist2017S1E10BlackTigerStealsHeart Black Tiger Steals Heart]]" when they wake up in bed at Bakuto's compound after Danny passes out from using the Iron Fist to suck the poison out of Colleen's veins.
* ''Series/{{JAG}}'': Seen several times in Season 9 with Mac and RomanticFalseLead Clayton Webb.
* ''Series/JaneByDesign'':
** In "The Birkin", a scene begins with India [[PostCoitalCollapse rolling off Jeremy post-sex]], each of them wrapped in their own Modesty Bedsheet. Averted when India climbs out of bed, she doesn't carry the bedsheet with her, her nudity is instead covered via ShouldersUpNudity.
** In "The Sleepover", India and [[spoiler:Eli]] are shown under one after sleeping together.
* ''Series/JaneTheVirgin'': Couples are always seen under one in post-sex scenes, usually in the L-shaped variant.
** [[TheVamp Rose]] and Luisa being both women avert the "L-shaped" scenario, instead each has their own sheets wrapped around them for post-coital scenes.
** Jane wears one when she finally loses her virginity in "[[Recap/JaneTheVirginS3E3ChapterFortySeven Chapter Forty-Seven]]", with both her and Michael under an L-shaped sheet.
** Notably "[[Recap/JaneTheVirginS3E15ChapterFiftyNine Chapter Fifty-Nine]]" shows why ''not'' taking the sheet with you can be a bad idea, as a naked Petra has to rush to hide in Mateo's closet when Jane comes into the apartment while Petra was walking around in the buff after getting out of bed.
* ''Series/JessicaJones2015'' has several sweaty sex scenes, but sheets and/or bras keep anything from being exposed.
** Used the second and third times Luke and Jessica have sex.
** Used whenever Trish has sex, whether with Simpson in Season 1, or Griffin and Malcolm during Season 2.
** Jessica in Season 2 gets a case of this when she first sleeps with Oscar. She wakes up in Oscar's bed and is a bit embarrassed by the fact that Oscar has been painting her sleeping form. He gives her the completed painting by the end of the episode.
* ''Series/JupitersLegacy'':
** On the morning after Chloe hooked up with Nick, she has a sheet around her chest.
** Grace too covers herself with a sheet when Sheldon stops having sex with her.
* ''Series/{{Killjoys}}'': D'avin and Sabine's sex scene has her pulling up a sheet over her breasts as she falls back ''while hemorrhaging green plasma'', whereas previously the camera was simply panned below to conceal them.
* ''Series/{{Krypton}}'': The pilot has a scene where Seg and Lyta-Zod make love, albeit with both under Modesty Bedsheets.
* ''Series/LawAndOrder'': Mostly played straight whenever police raid a home and, unfortunately, find the suspect intimately, erm, you know the rest. It's played for laughs in an earlier episode, when the police are handcuffing a mostly-naked perp; Det. Logan approaches his girlfriend to tell her to dress up, but she [[DefiantStrip promptly drops her bedsheet]] in a case of ToplessnessFromTheBack. He actually isn't amused.
* ''Series/ALeagueOfTheirOwn2022'': Carson and Greta have the sheets around them after they have sex.
* The American version of ''Series/{{Life On Mars|2008}}'' had a particularly baffling instance of the magic bra. A HookerWithAHeartOfGold seduces the protagonist by taking her bra off in front of him ([[ToplessnessFromTheBack with her back to the camera]]) and jumping into his bed. In the following sex scene, she's enthusiastically bouncing away on top of him... with her bra put back on to keep things US-TV-safe.
** This is a nearly shot-for-shot remake of a sequence from the original British series, but in that version she remains topless for the sex scene (as is permitted by post-watershed UK broadcast standards.)
* ''Series/{{Lost}}''
** {{Subverted|Trope}} with [[spoiler:James and Juliette]]: when they wake up in the morning and he gets up to pick up the phone, he has a shirt on, and she, while having nothing top-region on, keeps lying with her back up (while half-asleep, so this even looks genuine). Played straight later when she gets up and pulls the sheets up along with her.
** Played all too straight in "The Economist", when [[spoiler:Sayid]] is lying naked in bed with a woman whose navel is exposed, and yet has a sheet strategically placed across her bosoms.
* ''Series/TheLWord'': Alone of [[MsFanservice the main cast]], Bette covers her breasts with a sheet post coitus, as a result of Creator/JenniferBeals' apparent refusal to show hers (Bette's never seen topless in the show or ''Generation Q'', the SequelSeries).
* ''Series/MadMen'':
** A {{Sexposition}} scene presents Suzanne beneath a bed sheet in "[[Recap/MadMenS3E10TheColorBlue The Color Blue]]".
** In "[[Recap/MadMenS3E12TheGrownUps The Grown Ups]]", Peggy is under one of these when she and Duck are watching the television news about Kennedy.
** During Megan's stay in Hawaii in "[[Recap/MadMenS6E1TheDoorway The Doorway]]", she's gotten into the habit of [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping nude]], but still has a bed sheet covering her. When she gets out of bed, she does shrugs off the sheet, but still has [[ToplessnessFromTheBack her bare back to the camera]].
* ''Series/TheMarvelousMrsMaisel'':
** In the Season 1 finale, after being startled awake beside Joel, Midge gets up and starts stumbling around the room wrapped in her bedsheet, while Joel has put on underwear at some point in the night. She slips into a bathrobe off-screen.
** In Season 3, when Joel and Midge have a one-night stand while drunk in Las Vegas, the same thing happens again. Joel tosses Midge a bathrobe as she crawls out from under the covers.
* In UK mini-series ''Series/MisterEleven'', the protagonist and HotTeacher Saz has dreams where she's lecturing her class, explaining to them the logic about her decisions in her love life, all while clad [[NotWearingPantsDream in only a sheet]] that keeps [[TheissTitillationTheory threatening to drop]] as she talks. The L-shaped sheet is also used when Saz does sleep with her LoveInterest.
* ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': Multiple times Raelle and Scylla are shown in bed together after having sex offscreen with the covers around one or both of their chests.
* ''Series/TheNanny'' had an interesting DidTheyOrDidntThey plot nearly completely ruined by this. Fran wanders into Maxwell's bedroom one night and when they're discovered the next morning, everybody is speculating whether or not they had done the deed since neither could remember the night before (she was drunk, he was heavily sedated by cold medicine.) While the episode finally concludes they ''didn't'' (with a quick ShipTease at the end implying they did,) the super-modest way the scene was staged left most fans wondering how any of the characters thought they could have in the first place, since they were on opposite sides of a very large, perfectly made bed, both fully dressed (Max in pajamas, Fran in her underdress,) and as mentioned above, with neither in any state to get dressed again afterward.
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': In the Season 3 episode ''The Voyeur's Web'', Tony and Ziva must fake having sex in order to [[UndercoverAsLovers pass for the married assassins they are impersonating]]. They alternate between the "completely covered by bedsheet" missionary position and Ziva on top, shot from behind. [[spoiler: Five seasons later, it's implied that they weren't faking after all.]]
* ''Series/NeverHaveIEver'': After having sex with Ben and later Ethan, Devi is shown lying in bed afterward with the covers around her chest.
* ''Series/NewGirl'': Cece and Schmidt frequently make use of these when they sleep together.
** In "Fancyman Part 2", Winston ends up borrowing Schmidt's SUV car for an emergency drive to Mexico, not realizing [[AutoErotica Cece and Schmidt were having sex at the back of the car]]. He's stopped the border, and the border agent and Wiston find both at the back of the car, both covering themselves with a road map as if it were a bedsheet.
** One memorable case when Cece wrapped up in Schmidt's blankets before walking out into a living room full of his roommates. Of course, why she didn't just put on her own clothes, or even his, before wandering around in front of his friends is another question.
** In yet another case of this trope defeating its own purpose on this show, Schmidt wraps a small sheet around himself and comes into the kitchen to complain to the others about how he'd been unsuccessful in "getting something going with myself." With his bedroom door open.
* ''Series/Nos4a2'': After having sex with Carmody, Vic's got the covers around her chest.
* ''Series/NoughtsAndCrosses'': Sephy has the covers up over her breasts in bed beside Callum after they have sex.
* On ''Series/OnceUponATime'', Emma Swan and her son Henry walk in on Snow and Charming in bed clearly post-coital, and luckily under a Modesty Bedsheet. Henry is only eleven and is oblivious, asking why they're sleeping in the afternoon but Emma is scarred for life because while they are about the same age because of a magic curse, they're still ''[[PrimalScene her parents]]''.
* Discussed on ''Series/OneDayAtATime2017'', when Elena is getting ready to have sex with her girlfriend Syd for TheirFirstTime.
-->'''Elena:''' I just feel like in the movies they just skip to, like, [[SexyDiscretionShot the end of this]].\\
'''Syd:''' Yeah, boom, one of us has the sheet here, the other has it down here.
* ''Series/OneTreeHill'':
** Used constantly throughout the series with Nathan and Haley. They are often seen TalkingInBed post-sex covered with a bedsheet. It came in handy at least once when Dan walked in on Hayley wearing only this, which made her ''very'' uncomfortable.
** Brooke and Julian are also often seen wearing only in post-sex scenes where they're TalkingInBed, although often Julian is just [[ShirtlessScene shirtless]] and still [[RightThroughHisPants wearing pants.]]
** In "Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking", Both Jake and Peyton are shown wearing this while having sex.
** In "Almost Everything I Wish I'd Said The Last Time I Saw You...", Quinn and Clay are in bed after sex, with both of them covered by a bedsheet. Quinn is sleeping on her stomach so Clay starts pulling the sheet down so he can [[EatingTheEyeCandy admire]] her [[ToplessnessFromTheBack bare back]].
* ''Series/TheOrder'': Once after waking up naked post-werewolf transformation in a room with Randall, Jack and Hamish, Lilith (who's initially behind a couch) covers herself quickly with a blanket. This is odd as before the werewolves showed NoNudityTaboo.
* ''Series/TheOrville'': Whenever Keyali and [=LaMarr=] sleep together, her inhuman strength during DestructoNookie causes him to break one or more of his bones and go to sickbay. [[https://imgbox.com/an32wH1m This scene]] starts with a closeup on Keyali, then moves back to reveal [=LaMarr=] with his face covered in bruises, both under an L sheet.
* ''Series/{{Pandora}}'': Jax greets Xander while in his bed with the sheet around her chest. Since they have been an intimate couple for a while he obviously saw her naked before and they're in private; this is clearly done for the actress's sake.
* ''Series/PartyOfFive2020'': Natalia has a sheet covering her breasts the morning after she sleeps with Emilio.
* ''Series/PasionDeGavilanes'': As a classic {{Telenovela}}, sheets are frequently used to conceal nudity whenever couples are shown in bed post-sex. TheRemake ''Series/APassionForRevenge'' also plays this straight, but [[HotterAndSexier tends to show more skin]] with the men showing more of their [[ShirtlessScene bare chests]] while the girls show [[ToplessnessFromTheBack their bare backs]].
* ''Series/{{Pivoting}}'': After having sex with Brian Sarah is shown lying beside him as a blanket covers her up to chest level.
* ''Series/PrettyLittleLiars'':
** Used by various couples during sex scenes throughout the show, although many times the characters are still in their underwear. Notably, Spencer is almost always wearing [[SexyShirtSwitch her lover's shirt]].
** In "Game On, Charles", The Liars fail to escape A's dollhouse and get hit with a KnockoutGas. They wake up later [[WakingUpAtTheMorgue in a morgue-like room]], and notice that [[UndressingTheUnconscious they've been undressed]] and only have a bedsheet draped over their naked bodies. Spencer theorizes A took photos of them like that to send to their families so that [[DeathFakedForYou they assume they were dead and would stop looking for them]].
* ''Series/PrincessAgents'': Yuwen Yue walks into his room to find a naked woman in his bed. She holds the sheet around her chest at first. When she drops it the camera only shows her from [[ShouldersUpNudity the shoulders up]] (or [[ToplessnessFromTheBack from behind]]).
* ''Series/TheProfessionals''. In "A Hiding To Nothing", Doyle and his GirlOfTheWeek are woken by burglars after they've had sex. Doyle puts on jeans and the woman has the blanket wrapped around her, but we're given a few glimpses of skin to show that they're naked underneath. The trope is played straight with another couple later on; the LatinLover showing his hairy chest but his middle-aged female lover has the sheet cover her breasts.
* ''Series/ThePunisher2017''. Averted in "[[Recap/ThePunisher2017S01E05Gunner Gunner]]" by having Dinah Madani refuse to take off the bandage wrapping her midsection (from her near death in a car crash) before having [[GladToBeAliveSex rather frantic sex]] with Russo. Played straight post-coitus in the following episode, because she's taken the bandage off then.
* In ''Series/{{Quantico}}'', Alex has a bedsheet over her breasts when answering the phone after she has just had sex with Ryan, so we the audience won't see anything.
* Although [[ChasteHero it was rare]] for things to get that far, ''Series/QuantumLeap'' used this on occasion:
** "The Play's The Thing" saw Sam leap in just as a couple are awakening after a night together; the woman's grownup son makes an impromptu entrance, and she clutches the bedclothes higher around her. Sam feels very much at a disadvantage [[spoiler: but it's nothing to [[NakedPeopleAreFunny how exposed]] he'll be later in the episode]].
** "Temptation Eyes" has Al paying a visit as Sam is still in bed with his sleeping girlfriend: he's covered to the waist, [[SleepCute she's tucked in]]. Sam then gets up to reveal he's wearing [[GoofyPrintUnderwear boxers with little hearts on]], for which Al promptly [[LampshadeHanging teases him]].
** "Trilogy: Part II" plays this straightest, as Sam leaps in ''mid-sex-scene'' in a sticky Louisiana night. Sam's body mostly obscures his partner's, both have the sheets partially wrapped around them, and they become increasingly tangled as the girl's disapproving guardian bursts in on them and tells Sam he has five minutes to get out of there.
** There ''are'' a few instances of female toplessness in the show, but not in bed.
* ''Series/TheRepublicOfSarah'': Corinne wraps the bedcovers around her torso after she had slept with Danny.
* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'':
** The "[[Recap/RevolutionS1E17TheLongestDay The Longest Day]]", shows Nora and Miles in bed under a sheet in the morning after they slept together in the last episode. Notably, the sheet is ''very'' low on her legs and the scene starts with [[MaleGaze giving them a panning shot as it travels up her body]]. Miles simply has his up to his waist and the camera doesn't linger on him.
** In "Happy Endings", Charlie seduces Connor in Vegas and we later cut to a shot of her [[PostCoitalCollapse collapsing]] into [[RollInTheHay a pile of hay]] after they're done, with her clutching a blanket to her chest while Conner is {{shirtless|scene}}.
* ''Series/TheRookie2018'': Chen and Nolan each have their own when they're seen post-sex in "Time of Death".
* ''Series/RoswellNewMexico'': Isobel in "Kiss From A Rose" has a sheet wrapped around her chest after she had slept with Kyle, who's bare-chested.
* {{Parodied|Trope}} on a ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketch with Creator/AlecBaldwin showing various SoapOpera clips where both men and women walk away from the bed with a sheet already attached and covering their body without them holding it!
* ''Series/SchittsCreek'': "[[Recap/SchittsCreekS1E10Honeymoon Honeymoon]]" opens with David and Stevie in bed with the red satin motel sheets pulled up to their necks after their unexpected tryst. This works InUniverse because the pair is mortified and don't want to be showing their bodies to each other or in David's case, to himself. They also later mention that the presence of a mirrored ceiling is freaking them both out.
* ''Series/SecondChance2016'': In "Palimpsest", we see Mary [[TheModestOrgasm gasping softly]] before [[PostCoitalCollapse rolling off]] her FriendsWithBenefits billionaire lover, with both of them mostly covered by the bedsheets, save for some ToplessnessFromTheBack. Their ensuing [[TalkingInBed business talk]] also happens while both of them are under the blankets.
* ''Series/TheSecretCircle'':
** FriendsWithBenefits Melissa and Nick are always shown under the bedsheets after they sleep together, when they climb out of bed, Nick puts on his pants and [[ShirtlessScene remains shirtless]] while Melissa [[LingerieScene puts on her lingerie]] and remain like that for the rest of the scene.
** After Faye And Jake sleep together with a SexyDiscretionShot and the next morning we see both of them sleeping under a modesty blanket. When they get out of bed, they're also both show to [[RightThroughHisPants still be wearing underwear]] although Faye is still topless.
** When Adam and Cassie sleep together they're ''both'' shown with the bedsheet up to their chests.
* ''Series/SexAndTheCity'': Sarah Jessica Parker was criticized for relying on these techniques to avoid topless scenes, which all three of her co-stars performed.
* ''Series/{{Shadowhunters}}'': Utilized whenever a couple is shown in bed post-sex. Special mention goes in the finale with the Seelie Queen and her lover under a sheet made out of ''grass''.
* ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'': {{Invoked|Trope}} in "[[Recap/SherlockS02E01AScandalInBelgravia A Scandal In Belgravia]]" by the title character, of all people. In the ''[[UnderdressedForTheOccasion middle of Buckingham Palace]]''. He SleepsInTheNude and was simply too lazy to put his clothes on before Mycroft's people hauled him off for a meeting. He's quick to grab the sheet when it starts to slide off (because his brother Mycroft [[StrippingSnag stepped on it to keep him from walking away]]). He is, however, willing to use the threat of [[ShamelessFanserviceGuy abandoning the sheet]] as leverage against Mycroft, who is already ticked off about his state of undress and calls his bluff.
-->'''Mycroft:''' We are in Buckingham Palace, the very heart of the British nation. Sherlock Holmes, ''[[PleasePutSomeClothesOn put your trousers on!]]''
* ''Series/SirArthurConanDoylesTheLostWorld'':
** In "Cave of Fear", Professor Challenger and Cassandra are under a fur blanket after sleeping together, although he still noticeably has his shirt on
** In "The Visitor", Veronica is [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping naked]] at the tree-house when she hears Danu sneaking out of the house. She quickly wraps the sheets around herself like a dress and grabs [[PillowPistol the dagger under her pillow]] before rushing to investigate.
* ''Series/{{Skins}}'': When Jal and Cassie find Chris passed naked on the sofa, they cover him with a bedsheet. Cassie also takes pity on his TeenyWeenie and rearranges his ModestyBedsheet to create a [[GagPenis big tent shape]].
* ''Series/{{Smallville}}''
** "[[Recap/SmallvilleS04E01Crusade Crusade]]" has two {{Fanservice}}-heavy examples with both [[MrFanservice Clark]] and [[MsFanservice Lana]].
*** Lois finds Clark [[NakedFirstImpression naked and brainwashed on a cornfield]] and decides to take him to a hospital, but first gives Clark a red blanket for him to cover himself with. Not really [[InnocentFanserviceGuy understanding modesty in this state of mind]] he drops the sheet soon after they get to the hospital, to the annoyance of an orderly and the [[EatingTheEyeCandy joy of a nurse.]]
*** After touching Countess Isobel's tomb, Lana ends up losing consciousness and the next time she awakens [[UndressingTheUnconscious she's nude back in her bed]] with a sheet draped over, seemingly strategically placed to show as most skin as possible but still keeping the essential bits covered. When Jason starts knocking on the door she wraps the sheet around herself before getting up to answer the door.
** "[[Recap/SmallvilleS04E09Bound Bound]]" begins with Lex seducing a woman during an event. They end up in bed soon after, but all the action is hidden by the bedsheet. When he wakes up the morning after, he [[TheMurderAfter finds her dead body next to him]] both of them still covered by a bloodied bedsheet.

** In "[[Recap/SmallvilleS08E21Injustice Injustice]]", Tess finds Oliver in her bedroom [[ReadyForLovemaking waiting for her naked under the bedsheets]]. But she rejects him and tells him to [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn put his pants back on]] and leave.
** During Season 9 Lois starts DreamingOfThingsToCome of a BadFuture, which includes scenes of her and Clark having sex, but still covered with bedsheets even in her dream. When they do end up sleeping together, we see Lois getting up and dragging the sheet along with her as she walks to the balcony. Clark hugs her from behind soon, wearing pants put still {{shirtless|scene}} as they watch the sunset together.

In the episode "The Coup", Karen's performance as Marilyn for the song "Touch Me" also has her wearing only a sheet wrapped around her while dancers playing paparazzi swirl around her.
* ''Series/SpartacusBloodAndSand'': PlayedWith in "[[Recap/SpartacusBloodAndSandS1E1TheRedSerpent The Red Serpent]]". After sleeping together, we see Sura and Spartacus cuddling under a bedsheet that carefully covers their bodies, but then the Romans arrive and take Sura away, exposing her breasts in the process as well as most of Spartacus's body. In a bit of ContinuitySnarl when this scene is {{flashback}}ed in future seasons, she's donning a Modesty Bedsheet differently depending on the season.
* ''Series/TheSpencerSisters'': Darby quickly wraps herself in her bedsheet after waking up the next morning beside Des following them sleeping together, with her afraid of him being caught there by her mom.
* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':

As soon as Worf is finished praying Jadzia's nightgown hits him in the head and he turns to see a naked Jadzia waiting for him under the fur covers and he's quick to join her as [[SexyDiscretionShot the scene fades away]] and we cut to a scene of them snuggling still under the covers, although Worf is still wearing his full-body pajamas while Jadzia is clearly nude. When Kira calls them for an emergency, Jadzia just groans and burrows beneath the covers and Worf has to yank them off to get her to wake up (we only see her bare legs and as she complains).
*** "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS07E06TreacheryFaithAndTheGreatRiver Treachery, Faith, and the Great River]]" opens with Odo giving Kira a back massage in her quarters while she's using a bedsheet to cover her lower half. She also hugs the sheet around her chest when she sits up to talk to him.

*** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS6E14Tapestry Tapestry]]", Picard, while reliving his youth, [[spoiler:has sex with his BestFriend]].

In some cases, [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/sonya_kidnapped_us the geometry of the sheet in question seemed to be quite strange,]] possibly because the artist was unused to making these things plausible.
